Design Engineers' Portal for Sensing and Machine Safety

Welcome to our available resources on sensing and machine safety. Whatever industry you're in, or whatever product you manufacture, the right sensors to automate your plant, and to improve your overall efficiency, quality and safety are a must. You'll find Banner Engineering to be an amazing resource of products, training and people with expertise.

SensorsOversized status indicator The WORLD-BEAM QS30 Series sensors are available in standard 10 to 30V dc or 12 to 250V ac universal voltage formats. They feature a 30-mm threaded barrel or side hole mounting option, IP67 sealed housing with EMI/RFI protected circuitry, and an oversized status indicator for clearer visibility.

Demystifying Vision Sensing Self-contained vision sensors—sometimes called smart cameras—are more economical and easier to use than multi-component vision systems and are more powerful and versatile than photoelectric sensors. As a result, they make more inspections possible and help improve productivity, enhance quality, and reduce cost. In this session, vision sensing experts explain how to decide which type of optical sensor is the best choice for your application. This webcast is moderated by Design News Contributing Editor, Randy Frank.
